I am at the phase of installation of TAILS 3.0 where I need to clone TAILS onto my second USB. when I click the install by cloning button the window closes and no menu comes up at all. I am hoping that someone knows a fix for this.

    Do you get any useful output from running tails-installer-launcher -v? (-v enables verbose output to the terminal) – cacahuatl Jul 1 '17 at 2:24

  • Applications -> Favorites -> Terminal, type tails-installer-launcher -v into the terminal and press return. – cacahuatl Jul 1 '17 at 15:53

Try restarting with the intermediary but this time, set an Administrator password. Now when booted fully into tails, launch the Terminal and type 'sudo tails-installer-launcher'. It will ask for your Administrator password that you set on start-up. This will provide the Tails installer the proper elevated privileges to install by cloning.
